Assortment Planning with Sponsored Products
In the rapidly evolving landscape of retail, assortment planning plays a crucial role in determining the success of a business. With the rise of sponsored products and their increasing prominence in online marketplaces, retailers face new challenges in effectively managing their product assortment in the presence of sponsored products. Remarkably, previous research in assortment planning largely overlooks the existence of sponsored products and their potential impact on overall recommendation effectiveness. Instead, they commonly make the simplifying assumption that all products are either organic or non-sponsored. This research gap underscores the necessity for a more thorough investigation of the assortment planning challenge when sponsored products are in play. We formulate the assortment planning problem in the presence of sponsored products as a combinatorial optimization task. The ultimate objective is to compute an assortment plan that optimizes expected revenue while considering the specific requirements of placing sponsored products strategically.
